Save the children is probably my all time favorite website to go to. I chose this site because it is so encompassing. Anything and everything that can/will/does affect children is present on that site. World-wide issues and support is available. The position I chose to look at there is currently available.
Early Childhood Development Specialist
You need to at least have your master's degree in early childhood development or a related field, 3-5 years experience in early childhood program design, development or implementation. They prefer experience in developing countries, and materials development, excellent communication skills and the ability to travel 30-40% of the time.
The next site I chose was www.aed.org which promptly took me to www.fhi360.org and that website had several interesting jobs available. The position I chose was:
Technical Advisor I, Global Learning Group
You were also required to have your master's degree in education or a related field. 5-8 years experience with international education projects, experience in areas of literacy, strong research and evaluation skills, strong organizational and communication skills, strong research and writing skills and a professional demeanor. French language skills are a plus.
This was an interesting site and offered a variety of positions. The mission statement was to improve lives in lasting ways by advancing integrated, locally driven solutions for human development. I will continue to follow it because I was not aware of it prior to this assignment.
The next website I chose was ICF International. This website seems to have a collection of different jobs. Their mission statement is they provide connections for their clients to build a better life, and implement solutions that protect and improve the quality of life. They are passionate and committed to providing clients with expertise to provide the desired outcomes. I think that is quite a mouthful, and will be interested in following this site too. The position I chose was:
Head Start Grantee Specialist - Region X
The basic qualifications were a minimum of a B.S. or B.A. in a field related to program design and management, master's degree is preferred. Head Start experience, experience providing training at state, regional or national levels and providing technical assistance to private organizations. The ability to work independently as well as part of a team with excellent verbal and communication skills are also desired.
All three of these jobs sound like promising opportunities. It would be very exciting to travel internationally and make a difference somewhere!
Deb,
ReplyDeleteOf course we picked the same job at Save the Children. I just love their organization and I think it would be amazing to work in that type of international job. Great post!
